+ * This is an ugly, but unfortunately necessary hack that is

+ * containing ELF relocation info. We need this hack in order to
+ * be able to generate ELF binaries that can be translated into
+ * EFI applications (which are essentially COFF objects). Those
+ * files contain a COFF ".reloc" section inside an ELFNN object,
+ * which would normally cause BFD to segfault because it would
+ * attempt to interpret this section as containing relocation
+ * entries for section "oc". With this hack enabled, ".reloc"
+ * will be treated as a normal data section, which will avoid the
+ * segfault. However, you won't be able to create an ELFNN binary
+ * with a section named "oc" that needs relocations, but that's
+ * the kind of ugly side-effects you get when detecting section
+ * types based on their names... In practice, this limitation is
+ * unlikely to bite.
